Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
The larger the bricks your enemies throw at you the larger the palace you are going to build.
To model the path of love, is to model the representation of God in your life.
~ Wayne Chirisa
The happiest people in the world are those who give happiness to others.
They ask little, for they know it is little they will receive for all their asking, but what little is so dear, as it always is to the autumn-hearted who know life is pitiful and infinitely sweet.
~ William Alexander Percy
Do you pray for our world or just your world? If all your prayers were answered, would it change our world or just your world?
~ T S. Edwards
The road to Heaven is ascension, always climb upward.
~ Duane Hewitt
Thou art but a feeble flower in the garden of the universe, yet thou hath a purpose much greater than thyself.
~ Raneem Kayyali
Smile, just to infuriate those who envy you.
In the bigger scheme of things, we are two pawns... waiting for life to make its move.#Fatalist
~ Saru Singhal
Once upon a time, there was a world. It had three types of people in it. Those who walked a path of fear. Those who walked a path of faith and those who were lost. There were two realities; one that was visible to the senses and the other visible to the soul. Those on a path of fear, would see all things worldly. Those on a path of faith would feel the beauty. Those who were lost were incapable of neither seeing or feeling.
~ Elise Icten
This reality requires you to bury your nature and conform. This is the only way to survive. It is within this reality one often shares a minuscule of what one could share. Competition and scarcity dominate the mind and the heart shuts down. The lure with which one acquires is left with with subsequent hollowness. There was nothing to be had as all it was, was appearance. The conqueror leaves empty-handed. During a lonely moment, one can go and touch inside. It is here that the spirit shows how life is wasted by living a lie.
And so in this reality, everything came unseen but perfectly felt. Here, everything shared possessed intensity. The vibrancy of energy moved from one good deed to another. Here one was bigger than his circumstances and here every interaction was multiplied. Here there was no work as every undertaking was a talented blessing.
Your deepest scars tell the world of your greatest triumphs.
When people try to bury you, remind yourself you are a seed.
Don’t be afraid of being alone, a lion does not rule the jungle with sheep at its side.
If you have the power to put a smile on one person’s face, you have the power to change the world.
Be like seeds; do not see dirt thrown at you as your enemy, but as ground to grow.
When people try to pull you down, remember, they had to look up to do so.
Stop thinking you can't do something. All those thoughts you have going on in your head are made up lies. What are you afraid of? Success? Failure? No such thing as failure. You don't fail at anything. You experience, learn and grow.
~ Iva Ursano
Thoughts are powerful; before you were born, you were one.
The beauty all around you is insignificant in comparison to the beauty within you.
I am lost in the paradigm of life, death and time. The only thing I have learnt about this paradigm is that the time is running between life and death and with every passing day we are getting closer to the death and truth is that time is running for Good.
~ Ankitmishra
I've learned a lot of things this year...not everyone who smiles at you is your friend. Fear really is terrifying but when you face it, the feeling is euphoric. I can say no and not feel guilty. I can say yes and not feel guilty. I know when to walk away from anything that isn't good for me, but the best thing I learned is that happiness is inside of me and always has been.
Standing alone is better than standing with people who don't appreciate you.
Life is sweet till a bitter reality comes and hits us! After that, if you are a strong person, life will continue being sweet!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
You trails are part of your life because the trails are the reasons to receive the life.
~ Dariush Youkhaneh
The rainbow’s colors are hidden in the storm.
A star would lose its value if it tried to be something else, just be yourself.
Don't run with the crowd, fly with the stars.
The darkest part of the storm paints the brightest part of the rainbow.
It is what it is because you let it be so.
~ Suzy Kassem
Your mind is a ship, it can sail across the universe as long as you don't allow negative thoughts to sink it.
Be thankful to those painful moments of your life, because that has what shaped you to become who you are now.
~ Pradeepa Pandiyan
Stars don’t beg the world for attention, their beauty forces us to look up.
I prefer male enemies to female ones, I can survive a dog’s bite better than a scorpion’s sting.
A book is the only vehicle that can take you around the world in one hour.
To be knowledgeable, sit before scholars; to be wise, sit before life.
There are three impossibilities in life: God cannot lie, God cannot change and finally, I cannot be a poor man.
~ Ikechukwu Izuakor
You don’t choose the music your enemies play, but you choose which songs you dance to.
